Mast is leaking around deck step area. The boat was recently worked on. This involved removing and replacing the mast.
so something was overlooked in my mind.
I am far removed from yard at this time so they are no help. If I could understand how the mast is stepped I have a much better chance Of stopping the leak.
This boat has Zspar system which has gotten me through two hurricanes. No complaints here..Raymarine not so happy with.

Had a similar problem when we purchased our boat in 2002. PO did a crappy repair job so fixed it once and for all. Wrote an article about it here: Hunter 42 Owner Modifications and Upgrades

Also, the mast step plate has a weep hole that needs periodic cleaning. Wrote an article about it here: Hunter 42 Owner Modifications and Upgrades

IMHO, making a drip loop in the wire bundle is a critical part of keeping water out of the cabin. But that must be done when the mast is stepped.
